You folks are lucky, here in philly the price has been a steady $350 on craigslist. Maybe now that the holidays are over the price will drop. But I refuse to pay anyone more than retail for this thing. Good luck all.

Hi, I live in Toronto, and I've been looking for the past month to buy a Wii from a store. And frankly, it's impossible. Can you help please?

I've been looking since I went to a New Year's party and finally got a chance to play one. Needless to say my girlfriend and I had a blast and are ready for our own. Haven't had any luck these past 5 days calling/visiting every electronics/retail store. Just a lot of store rep's with attitudes. "No Wii's!" that was one of the answers I received. Along with one rep at a Target telling me yes, and then saying, "nah I'm just playing we ain't got any." I guess that's Memphis for ya.

I bought my Nintendo Wii on eBay.
It's the Ultimate Wii bundle that normally sells for $ 600 and up on the internet. The seller provided a receipt and he paid $ 399.99 plus sales tax for a total of about $ 431.00. Then shipping to me costed the seller $ 42.00, so the selller expended $ 473.00 and I paid him $ 480.00 for this eBay purchase.

So I got the Ultimate Wii bundle for only $ 7.00 over the seller's cost.
It's possible to get good deals on eBay if you are patient.

well i got my wii from gamestop a few days back and im loving the wii..i play that more than my ps3 and my 360
i got my wii from that reserve thing for game stop
and i found out that game stop wont have them after they distribute the reservations
MOST OF THE SHIPPING FOR GAME STOP IS FROM 9:30ish to 11
hope that helps

Before 'cdnpianst' pointed me to the Amazon.ca offering, I was told that Costco was getting shipments this month and that EB Games WOULD DEFINATELY be getting shipments in February or just before.

I'd go to your closest EB Games and talk nicely to the manager to see if he/she could hold one for you or contact you when they arrive.

If you are having trouble in the Uk getting a wii try www.wii-consoles.co.uk. It's a stock updater. I can see now that it is showing Gamestation and Micro Direct have wiis in stock. You have to be really quick tho. It updates every 60 seconds. If thats no good I got my Wii on ebay on Wednesday 2nd Jan and had it by Friday, all for £200 on a buy it now. They are out there

out of pure curiosity, when you reserved your Wii at gamestop, what time of day did you go in?

The reason I am asking is becasue I got mine reserved at gamestop but was able to get one of the last two they had left and was wondering if they are calling in order that people reserved theirs.

i came in at like 12:30-1:30
i got one of the 3 wii they had that day

the wii is still hard 2 get? wow i thought everyone had 1 by now.

Thanks, They had 24 that could be reserved that day at the gamestop i went to. I got the second to last.

Hi guys. I've been reading these forums as an unregistered user for about a year. I really just do not have anything to say most of the time, but now I finally need some help.

I live in Michigan, right outside of Flint for those of you familiar w/ MI.

Does anyone have ANY information on the UPS shipment days/times for Target, Best Buy, Circuit City and Walmart for around this region? It seems like every time I ask a worker, they tell me that 'it varies, there is no set day or time'.

Any help is appreciated (i'm STILL searching desperately for a wii - and yes I have itrackr).

go to gamestop for SURE they going to OVERSTOCK on wii after JAN 25 08
cuz thats the last day they pass out their wii's they have on stock
so after all thats gone..they going to have a lot of wii

is this true for all gamestop stores? i realllllly want a wii!!

I have to get mine from Best Buy. =\

I wonder when they'll get them.

I will deffinitely be there on 01/25! Thanks for the reply!

I just joined today, and haven't read this thread, so I apologize if this is old information. I got a Wii from the tracker nowinstock.net. GREAT website.

Also, ToysRUs has a couple bundles available for around $489 Some of the games are good, others, not so much. You may want to check first, but some people were talking about returning or trading the games. I just sold my extras on Ebay.

Good luck!! Wii's are TONS of fun.

Has anyone heard from any of the retail stores when the Wii is going to be available again? It hasn't been in the major store ads since December 16th. It's got to be coming up soon to another Sunday ad. I just saw something about January 20th for some reason. Has anyone heard anything else on the next major sale of Wii's on Sunday. That's the best chance at getting one in my opinion.

for wii buyers going to gamestop
dont go the same day they sell the wii @ 1-25 because thats all for the people who reserved it
wait for like 1 more week

Yea. Amazon is always a good site to constantly check in on. I got mines by checking in with gamestop. They said they didnt have any new but they did have a used for stock for 235. I bought it ASAP when I heard. Works great too..plus it came with predowloaded vc's. In order to get one now it would be best to wait..unless you dont mind paying 450+
